You’re Training for Driver Speed WRONG (We Tested 4 Methods)

Ian Fraser and the Fraser Golf Institute team begin a winter-long speed journey by baseline testing four popular training methods: The Stack System, SuperSpeed Golf, Rypstick, and training with a personal driver (Fast Eddie). The instructors demonstrate how to perform max-effort speed testing and discuss the critical differences between physical strength and efficient swing sequencing for generating distance.

• Baseline testing should include both a 7-iron and a driver to see how speed translates between clubs.
• A shut clubface at impact can artificially inflate ball speed numbers during testing.
• The gap between 7-iron and driver speed (ideally ~20 mph) indicates how efficiently a golfer moves and sequences their swing.
• Max-effort speed training requires 2-3 minute rest periods between sets to allow the nervous system to recover.
• Trying to 'guide' or 'control' the driver often results in slower speeds and poorer accuracy than a full-speed, sequenced swing.
